BRITO, Gisèle de Mattos. Turbulence and growth: Ismalia and Isaura meet. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2009, vol.43, n.2, pp.39-48. ISSN 0486-641X.

This article is a clinical text about an intense encounter between “madness” and “sanity” or, we might say, between the psychotic and the non-psychotic part of our personalities (Bion, 1967). Between the search to know (K) and not know (-K) as presented by Bion (1962, 1963) and extension to transformations K->O (Bion, 1965). A variety of fragments of different moments of the analysis are presented making it possible to see how patient and analyst weave a continent to contain the analytical object. Madeness/Ismália, that is, the acting’s derived from an attempt to escape from mental pain and feelings of responsibility, as well as, the creation of a hallucinatory world gain verbal expression in the analytical relationship. On the other hand, sanity/Isaura, understood as the lucid contact with self and object is also revealed and expressed.
